In baseball parlance, Kent Moore essentially has hit for the cycle when it comes to CGA individual championships — in two different respects.

On Friday, the Colorado Golf Hall of Famer won a CGA championship for the fifth consecutive decade.

The golfer from Cherry Hills Country Club covered the “Teens” by claiming victory on Friday in the 43rd CGA Senior Stroke Play Championship at The Ranch Country Club.

Beyond Moore hitting all the bases as far as success over many decades, he’s won almost every individual CGA championship for which he’s been eligible.

He won the Junior Match Play in 1973, the Stroke Play in ’86, the Match Play in ’89, the Mid-Amateur in ’95, the Senior Match Play in ’06 and now the Senior Stroke Play in ’14.

Suffice it to say that puts him in very rarefied air.

Regarding being victorious in major CGA championships every decade since the 1970s, Moore (above and left) said with a smile, “It shows that I won’t give up, I guess. Not a lot of talent, but a lot of persistence.”

Or perhaps plenty of both.

As for winning nearly every individual championship for which he’s eligible on the CGA schedule, he compared it to the record of another Colorado Golf Hall of Famer, Kim Eaton.

“I think she’s won one at every level” of CWGA championships. “It’s very, very, very satisfying. I wanted to win this (Senior Stroke Play) really badly. I worked really hard, so it’s feels great. It’s something I really, really wanted because of that, to round out” that career record.

And this one, at age 58, was convincing. Moore’s six-shot victory at The Ranch matched the largest margin since Robert Polk won the event by nine in 2007. Jerry Kidney also prevailed by a half-dozen, in 2011.

Moore, runner-up in the Senior Stroke Play last year, fired a 1-under-par 70 Friday in temperatures that ranged from the mid-30s to the low-40s. That left him with a 2-over-par 215 total. Moore, who earned low-amateur honors in the 2014 HealthOne Colorado Senior Open, defied the conditions with a two-birdie, one-bogey round that closed the door on all his competitors.

At age 62, Steve Bell (left) of Denver Country Club claimed second place three months after also being the runner-up in the CGA Senior Match Play. Bell carded a 74 Friday for a 221 total. Grant Porter of CommonGround Golf Course took third place at 223 after closing with a 72, while Robert West of Cherry Creek Country Club finished fourth at 224 following a 71 on Friday.

Larry Netherton of Highlands Ranch Golf Club added a highlight during the final round, making a hole-in-one with an 8-iron at the 141-yard 17th hole en route to a 74. It was the eighth ace of Netherton’s life, and his second in tournament golf.

As for Moore (below), his final-day performance was impressive, given that players were bundled up to combat the cold weather. The temperature didn’t creep past the 40-degree mark until the leaders were well onto the back nine.

“Kent played great golf,” Bell said. “I told him — and I believe this — if there is an adverse condition player, Kent is it. He is the best that I have ever seen (in that regard). We’re out here with a lot of clothes on, cold temperature and so on, and I knew it was going to be a really hard day to overtake Kent. I’m happy with where I am.

“Obviously, everybody likes to win, but being a bridesmaid isn’t half bad.”

Moore’s only bogey of the day came at the par-4 10th hole, where he hit an errant drive, left his approach in the front bunker and missed a 6-foot par putt. But starting on No. 13, he one-putted three times, never giving a glimmer of hope to his fellow players.

Moore is no stranger to the cold, having played college golf at Purdue, and now being the men’s golf coach at Wheaton College near Chicago.

“We play in horrible weather in Illinois at times, and I’m always telling the boys, ‘You’ve got to still keep your game and put your best swing on it every time,'” he said. “When you feel cold, or whatever, just your best swing. That’s what I tried to do. I try to picture the shots and go all in on them.”

David Delich (left) of the Broadmoor Golf Club, the 2012 champion, entered the day one behind Moore but struggled on Friday. The former Colorado College hockey player was 1 under par for the day through four holes, but triple bogeyed both No. 5 and 9. He finished with a 79 and tied for fifth place at 225.

Delich wasn’t making excuses, but his plate is certainly full this week. Right after completing play Friday in the Senior Stroke Play, he left to catch a plane to the West Coast, where he’ll play in the first round of the U.S. Senior Amateur Saturday in Newport Beach, Calif.

“I don’t know if I was half here today or half gone,” he said. “I should have been a little more focused on today’s game. It just seemed like I was never in there today and focused. I made a couple of sloppy big numbers, which is not normal for me in a stroke-play event. I know what to do to prevent that.”

Delich said one reason he competed in the Senior Stroke Play right before the U.S. Senior Amateur is because he had played little tournament golf since Memorial Day. He won the Southern California Senior Amateur this summer and qualified for the U.S. Senior Amateur, but that had been about the extent of his competitive golf in recent months.

“I didn’t expect to play today (in the final round of the Senior Stroke Play), but I was in the hunt and that’s why I played,” he said. “I didn’t have many tournament rounds under my belt, and it showed today. But I know the golf course (in Newport Beach); I’ve played it and I’m comfortable on it. I’ve flown out there many times the night before an event (in California) and played courses I haven’t seen and fared well.”

Pair of Toms Earn CGA Senior Titles https://www.wpt-6.colo.golf/2014/06/13/pair-of-toms-earn-cga-senior-titles/ Fri, 13 Jun 2014 00:00:00 +0000 https://www.colo.golf/2014/06/13/pair-of-toms-earn-cga-senior-titles/

Friday was a long time coming for Tom Musselman.

Three-hundred and sixty-four days, to be exact.

But on Friday the 13th, the 54-year-old golfer from Telluride Ski & Golf Club finally earned the trophy that barely eluded him a year ago.

After being forced to settle for second place at the CGA Senior Match Play in 2013, Musselman made a very satisfying move up to the champion’s spot this week.

The former Kentucky state amateur champion won two matches Friday at the Pinery Country Club in Parker, claiming the Senior Match Play title with a 2-and-1 victory over Steve Bell of Denver Country Club.

“This means a lot just because I really focused and practiced over the winter to get ready for this campaign in early June,” Musselman said. “The whole goal was to try to get my game in shape for this event. I was aiming for this one.”

Another Tom, Tom Warren of Fossil Trace Golf Club, earned the CGA Senior-Senior Match Play championship for players 60 and older by defeating Roger Gunderson of Aurora Hills Golf Course, 2 and 1 in Friday’s final.

Musselman, who lost a 2-up final match to Harry Johnson of Eagle Ranch Golf Course on June 14, 2013, avenged that defeat in Thursday’s quarterfinals.

“I had so much confidence going into that final (last year), then all of a sudden I was 4 or 5 over par and get beat. It was disturbing,” said Musselman, a hotel developer from Kentucky who purchased a home in Telluride in 2000. “I knew where Harry was on the board this entire week, and I told him that. He is a competitor. We went at it. I was 3 under par just to beat him. That was my best-played match. I was psyched. I had everything dialed in — and I had to play well. I was watching all week and hoping we’d get to play.”

Then after ousting Larry Netherton of Highlands Ranch Golf Club 4 and 3 in Friday morning’s semifinals, Musselman never trailed in the title match.

Bell looked likely to square the match on the par-4 seventh after Musselman’s tee shot ended up against the trunk of a tree and he was in the front greenside bunker in three. But with Bell having a 5-foot par putt, Musselman holed out a 30-foot sand shot (left) for par, leading to a halve of the hole.

“All of a sudden I hole that damn thing out,” he said. “I know that kind of shook Steve up a little bit.”

Then Musselman won the eighth with a 6-foot birdie and the ninth with a par to go 3 up.

Bell cut the deficit to 1 down when Musselman made bogeys on 10 and 12. But Musselman birdied No. 13 with an up-and-down from the sand, made a 45-foot birdie putt on No. 16, and two-putted from 50 feet for par on No. 17 to claim the victory. Bell (left) lost despite birdies at Nos. 15 and 16, and a lipped-out birdie putt on 17.

“I felt good about most of the way I played, but I had a couple of shaggy-dog holes in the middle of the round that put me down a little bit,” Bell said. “I got a little adrenaline at the end and birdied 15 and 16 and I hit a really good putt on 17 that I thought was going to go. It feels a little bit better when you birdie two of the last three holes.”

In the Senior-Seniors, Warren (below) held the lead for most of the day against Gunderson, the 1998 CGA Senior Match Play champ who had knocked off Colorado Golf Hall of Famer John Olive in the semis. The 61-year-old Warren never trailed after making three consecutive birdies on Nos. 4-6. Still, things were all square after 14, but Warren won Nos. 15 and 17 with pars, the latter after Gunderson hit a shot out of bounds.

The win was especially satisfying considering Warren just got back into tournament golf three years ago after not playing competitively for about a decade.

“I used to play a lot of competitive golf and I took 10 years off and I forgot how much fun it was,” he said.

In his younger years, Warren qualified for two U.S. Junior Amateurs, losing to a young Texan named Ben Crenshaw in one match.

“He was a year older than me and he had a caddie and a coach and a little gallery,” Warren recalled. “I thought, ‘I better find myself another career.’ I just remember watching him hit it 50 yards past me and making 30 footers when I’m shaking on 3 footers.”

On Friday, the 70-year-old Gunderson was in decent shape until his tee shots suddenly went awry coming down the stretch.

“I hit a lot of good shots but I put myself into too many bad positions off the tee coming in,” he said. “I drove the ball really well all week until the last six or seven holes, then I couldn’t keep it on the planet.”

While Gunderson obviously would have like to have won another state title, making it to the super-senior final was an accomplishment by itself.

“I had no expectations coming in,” he said. “I have not been playing well. To get this far, I feel pretty fortunate.”
